This blog is dedicated to the political happenings in the Valley and Southwest Virginia. As the the name implies, this blog will have posts based on what is heard by this elephant's (GOPer's) ears. It is also a great treat to get while at the county fair or a carnival.

Great Editorial

The WSJ has a great editorial ripping House Appropriations Chairman Jerry Lewis for not curtailing spending and costly the GOP the majority. The author argues that the recent move to prevent spending cuts and blocking a line-item veto may cause GOP voters to set at home in November and cost the GOP the House majority.Its a great read and shows some of the problems within our party at the national level.
